Yes, it’s changing…

Tomorrow will be my last day at @equalyoga , teaching at 7 & 9am.Everything is changing, that’s one thing we can count on and know for sure. Sometimes the way you want, or beyond, and sometimes the other way around. The practice of yoga can help you deal with that
.
That doesn’t mean you will be experiencing joy all the time. The pain, the storms or the waves will still come & be there. It it just helping you how to stay ok amidst it all #equanimity how to stay balanced, how to ride the waves
.
Which is still my search, my aim. Always rebalancing, evaluating and trying out. Making mistakes and becoming wiser, hopefully 😜
.
So more time to go to the source, a little less classes. Less quantity and more quality! And of course with mixed feelings

But I am ok. I will try to keep subbing every now and then and stay connected

3 months agoby annascottmiller23 June 2017 he said yes . . 23 is my favorite number, he is my favorite too . 23 apparently is also one of the happy numbers, he makes me happy . 23 has a unique role in human relationships, for personal health and the the life order according John Forbes Nash aka ‘A Beautiful Mind’. He has a unique role in my life too . 23 is also in our body and genes. Normal human sex cells have 23 chromosomes. Other human cells have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. We are a pair too. The average human physical biorhythm is 23 days and the blood circulates the body on average every 23 seconds. We are not average, I like to think . 23 has more weird things going on. I like weird. I chose the positive ones. Check Wikipedia for more if you like He makes me look on the brighter side of things . 23 June 2019 is today. It’s a good day! I practice with my teachers and Aussie friends. And with him, my husband . 23 June 2017 is 2 years ago today. We are on the same island and will celebrate the weekend at the same spot . 23 is just a number. He is so much more . . #iloveyou#letsstaytogether#bettertogether#love#engaged#inbali#islandoflove#balilove#weirdfacts#23

3 months agoby annascottmillerWas it all a dream? . Last week we returned from a fairy tale wedding in Tuscany . It was hot, it was on fire! Literally 33 degrees and also because of all the feels, all the emotions, all the love, what an amazing energy . 3 days with an awesome group of people, celebrating love, life, connection, being in the moment, protection & the small things in life . Beautiful to hear the loving words, the jokes, speeches, to be in the old charismatic little town for the ceremony, the scenery of Tuscany and the wonderful Italian food . But the best thing was to see these 2 hardworking, responsible, generous, in control and handsome people to let go, enjoying & celebrating the moment, this life, this love, only in the way they can with all their loved ones around. They created magic . Was it even real? . #teunegoesdrubbel#thankyou@daphneteune & @pdrubbel77#newlyweds#italianwedding#tuscanywedding#magic#whatadream#fairytailwedding#weddingweekend#loveisallyouneed

2 weeks agoby annascottmillerchaturanga dandasana . . A powerful movement in plank position 55 times each day, if you practice the full primary series of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga . . Ashtanga is not alignment based. Well, actually it is! Internal alignment that is. It’s about connecting to the breath, your breath. Which connects you to the present moment. With what is going on, possible, needed and right in that moment. Fully present, fully aware . . At least, you try as much as possible. If you noticed you’re drifting off, you direct yourself back to the breath, to what is. Right now. So you are aligned. Internally activated with the bandhas, focus inward, body and mind merged by the breath . . On the exhale you move down from plank position. Or you land straight in it from a jump back. Depends on your internal alignment I’d say . . It’s easy to create a pattern if you repeat this 55 times a day, 6 days a week. I’d say it’s important to stay very conscious and aware to protect yourself and invest in some knowledge about the different ways to execute it and what suits your build and body . . There is no one size fits all, but repetitively doing the same movement can have a lot of impact. Very empowering if done in a safe way! . . Check @kinoyoga@wellness_yogini & @omstarsofficial for options to train towards it, as this is day 1 of their #ashtangahomepracticechallenge#chaturangadandasana#repetativemovement#stayconscious#besafe#movesafely#internalalignment . .

2 weeks agoby annascottmillerhome practice . . First video was last week, 2nd exactly 1 year ago Both practices where outside, only did the tic-tocs inside. Because I need a bit of help . . Most often I practice in the shala with my dear teachers and astanga community. It can really help. The energy, the adjustments, the guidance . . Lately, and while traveling, I practice more at home. The most difficult part for me is to start. If I manage to step on my mat, it’s most of the time ok, although it’s also easier to get distracted . . Receiving and asking for help can be very powerful and needed, but it’s very valuable to be all by yourself at times. Just you, no other bodies, practices, processes to see and feel. Just to focus on yourself on your own . . Some of us don’t even have the privilege to live close to their teacher. That sense of being in it together, wherever in the world, is very powerful to tap into. That self inquiry is valuable for yourself, but also for your surroundings . . Doesn’t mean it always has to be very physical like this. For me it’s a very challenging road, the backbends. It’s not always nice and fun. But that’s what makes it interesting. Just like sitting to meditate isn’t always easy and fun . . What about you? Where and what do you practice and what do you prefer? . . #homepractice#tictocs#ashtangayoga#allbymyself#backbends#itsaprocess#ashtangahomepracticechallenge@kinoyoga@omstarsofficial@wellness_yogini

2 months agoby annascottmillerI am getting old . . At least, I hope so. Last weekend I gained another year to the list of years I’ve spent in this body. Considered old for some, young for others. Doesn’t really matter . What matters is how I spend & celebrate this life and with whom. Connection is what I consider most valuable and some epic laugh sessions now and then . For me it’s actually not so much about how old I get. More about how long I can stay young. And also this can differ depending on your perspective . Is it how young your body is and how it functions or is it how free your mind is? Lately I am mainly focusing on the last one, while it was always the body before . Kind of also have to. Although I am still training and using this vehicle I was given, it’s the mind that needs to care for and love it. Even if it’s not capable of what I would like to or what it’s supposed to . Forever changing. Especially as we get older. Natural process probably that we kind of have to shift more to how we look at it instead of what we look like . Accepting the less nice things & parts about myself is what I am working on at the moment. Challenging and freeing. But with people I can love, who support me, got my back, love me and I can laugh with, it’s all good. That’s what life’s about, right? . . #thankyoufriends#newandold@marlobenj@hiddenhillsvillas#sunsetwithfriends#treasuremoments#playing#handstand#straddlehandstand#travelling#travel#balisunsets#balivibes#balilove
